🌱 Prof. Louise E.M. Vet (KNAW) reminds us how precious nature is: “The best thing we can do, and banks and insurance companies agree, is to invest in the combination of biodiversity and climate protection.”

"Many people believe the scale of the climate challenge calls for immense technological innovation, geoengineering, or the transformation of our economy. But with these solutions there are often painful trade-offs. Almost every technological or geoengineering fix you can imagine comes at the expense of something else."

"There is one set of solutions, however, that present no trade-off at all when they are done right. The restoration of natural habitats like forests is an exception in our climate toolkit because it draws on the same network of connections that allowed life to flourish in the first place."

"Of course, nature-based solutions are not always so successful. Companies have created vast carbon farms via monocultural tree planting, destroying native species in the process."

Could nature itself hold the solution to climate change?

Technological interventions face huge financial or practical challenges. Why not embrace the Earth’s feedback loops?

Wildlife Wednesday

🦋Research from University of Plymouth shows that appropriately designed soil-based living wall systems can deliver meaningful urban biodiversity benefits when integrated with strategic plant selection.

🐦‍⬛ In the study locations, 32 bird species were recorded, with three species observed nesting within the living walls.

🐝 Among the hundreds of other creatures observed were 12 different types of bees, hoverflies and other pollinators, as well as 19 types of soil invertebrates and 12 species of spiders.

Living walls boost biodiversity by providing safe spaces for urban wildlife

Living walls—structures housing flowers and plants fitted to the outside of new and old buildings—can significantly enhance the biodiversity within urban environments, a new study has shown.

Beaver-engineered habitats are outperforming ours

Two studies find that beaver-engineered wetlands attract twice as many hoverflies, nearly 50% more butterflies, and a richer variety of bats compared to human-made ponds or free-flowing streams.
